Chapter 499 - 493: Seven-turns Golden Elixir
In fact, it’s quite the opposite; each famous legendary arcane implement represents a great grandmaster blacksmith or a renowned legendary powerful one. Their numbers are extremely rare, occupying the apex among arcane implements.
Especially those legendary treasures naturally produced by heaven and earth, they are powerful enough in attack or functionality to be comparable to some immortal arcane implements.
After all, even the Rosewood College’s treasure, the Tower of Refining Beasts, is just a legendary arcane implement.
Some legendary powerful ones who have just broken through may not even be able to assemble a set of matching legendary arcane implements in a hundred years.
However, there are also different levels of legendary arcane implements, divided into nine levels of refinement.
Top beast control powers are generally willing to auction off legendary arcane implements that can be forged multiple times, have weak functionality, and rank at the lowest end among legendary arcane implements, which are the so-called first to third levels of refined implements, also known as low-level legendary weapons.
As for legendary arcane implements above the seventh level, unless a family is facing a desperate situation of discontinuing their legacy, none of the top beast control powers would choose to sell them. Instead, they would be passed down as treasured heirlooms from generation to generation.
After all, such a level of legendary weapons, if held by a half-step legendary strong one, can completely resist the apex of the contemporary legendary powerful ones, or even escape easily within a short period of time.
Therefore, the top beast control powers within the Flowery Kingdom all reached a consensus to block information and channels about highly-refined legendary weapons, making the news about high-level legendary weapons only circulate within the upper echelons, and even the first-class beast control powers could only obtain the low-level legendary weapons.
As for the Meteorite Treasure Box that David Jones obtained from the Abyss Ancient Dragon, it belongs to the first-level legendary weapon. In addition to the top-notch defensive space within the treasure box, which could be used to temporarily store the God Egg, it is basically of little use in combat.
Of course, the Meteorite Treasure Box is still quite useful for storing highly dangerous pet resources like the Time Stone and the right claw of the Dazzling Dragon!
“Three Phoenix Ring Jades, Phoenix College is really generous!”
Lilith Hoyle looked at the materials for the auction of legendary weapons on the display table, her eyes full of amusement.
Phoenix Ring Jade is a defensive first-level legendary weapon developed by the great grandmaster blacksmith of Phoenix College.
When the holder is injured, the burning flames on the ring jade will absorb all the damage and temporarily increase the holder’s Arcane Force capacity and recovery speed, thus achieving a more and more powerful situation. It’s a relatively rare and comprehensive type among defensive implements.
Theoretically, as long as the holder of the Phoenix Ring Jade has strong enough psychic and physical strength, they can wear down the majority of opponents. Therefore, during a tug-of-war, the holder of Phoenix Ring Jade is usually the target of the opponent’s concentrated fire!
While Lilith decided to wait and see, the guests in the other private rooms began talking.
In private room number six, two middle-aged men with dark faces looked at each other.
“Has Phoenix College gone mad? They’ve actually put up three legendary arcane implements for a single Soul-Refining Bodhi Tree sapling. Isn’t that inflating the price?”
Even Peony College, famous for producing blacksmith grandmasters, needed to spend a lot of manpower and resources to forge a single level one legendary weapon.
For example, rare and hard-to-find materials, years of effort from blacksmith grandmasters, and finally, the critical intervention of great grandmaster blacksmiths!
The leading man with a calm gaze and an expressionless face raised his hand, interrupting their conversation.
“Our budget from above is very generous. If we really compete for the number of legendary arcane implements, no power within the kingdom can compare to our Peony.”
“Five legendary arcane implements, two defensive ones, and three offensive ones!” Peony’s leader pondered for a while before quoting a a high price that the first-class beast control powers could not afford.
However, this shocking price couldn’t scare off the top beast control powers present. The auctioneer’s voice kept ringing, and the price of the Soul-Refining Bodhi Tree sapling grew higher and higher, instantly reaching a whopping price of four legendary arcane implements plus two one-turn Golden Elixirs.
At this point, guests in the later-numbered private rooms had given up bidding.
The reason for this was simple – the Soul-Refining Bodhi Tree sapling was still just a level VII SSS tier mesona. Whether it could eventually evolve into a Treasured Bodhi Tree remained an unknown matter.
If the Soul-Refining Bodhi Tree fails to progress, its value will plummet, possibly not even worth a single legendary arcane implement by then. This level of risk has already exceeded the expectations of many beast control powers.
So, in the end, only the buyers in private rooms one, four, five, and six were left competing against each other in the bidding wars.
The rest of the beast control powers in the other private rooms were keenly watching the excitement, wanting to see how high a price a level VII mesona could fetch!
“This is the top beast control power in the country! The colossal resources they battle for can entirely cultivate a strong epic one!”
David Jones sighed in his heart, and then shot a glance at his poker-faced teacher.
At this time, as if understanding that the auction was coming to an end, Lilith directly entered her bid on the screen.
“Room three bids four legendary arcane implements, one Universe Seven-turns Golden Elixir!” The auctioneer’s voice trembled slightly.
Earlier, she had been somewhat confused about her family ancestor’s decision to sell a Soul-Refining Bodhi Tree sapling, but now it seemed that her ancestor was far-sighted!
According to auction rules, a Six-turns Golden Elixir is already valued the same as two legendary arcane implements, while the Universe Seven-turns Golden Elixir is even more invaluable, with the chance to create a legendary powerful one with a lifespan of a thousand years.
“It’s Rosewood College interfering again!”
The leader of Peony College’s face darkened.
It was well known that only a place like Rosewood College, which was famous for producing Saint of Pharmacist, had the ability to refine a Universe Seven-turns Golden Elixir. The identity of the buyer in room three was naturally evident.
“Director Sherwood, if we continue to increase the price, even if we buy the Soul-Refining Bodhi Tree sapling, the school’s top leadership will have serious objections!” The middle-aged man quietly advised.
It’s not that Peony College couldn’t afford a higher price than Rosewood College, but rather a question of whether it was worth it or not.
Although they have the same title, there are more than a dozen large and small factions within Peony College, each helping and competing with each other.
If the Soul-Refining Bodhi Tree is successfully promoted, then all is well. But in case of failure, Director Sherwood, who paid a high price for the sapling, may be held accountable by other factions within the school.
“Forget it!” Director Sherwood sighed and decided to abandon further bidding.
Even though Peony College has mesona masters, the probability of nurturing a Treasured Bodhi Tree is still miniscule. Perhaps withdrawing in time is a better choice.
After all, it’s better not to make mistakes under permissible circumstances!
David Jones watched the auctioneer excitedly drop the hammer and quickly congratulated him, “Congratulations, Teacher!”
Little did he know that in private room number one, a deeply hidden and somewhat eerie gaze quietly lit up..
